Stephen Amell was one of those on the CW's "Arrow" panel at Dragon Con 2015 when he was asked what he thought of Ronda Rousey appearing on the show. The UFC champion has been getting some offers lately to make appearances in movies and TV shows with "Arrow" being the latest one for her consideration.

Rousey's popularity is rising as many fans who don't normally watch the UFC tune in to see her fight. Recently, she was asked which super-heroine she wanted to play on the big screen given the opportunity. Unsurprisingly, she responded, "Ms. Marvel" who is known these days in the comic books as Captain Marvel.

During the "Arrow" panel, a fan informed Amell that Rousey actually "ships Olicty" and wondered whether there's a chance for her to appear on the show.

The cast's response was nothing short of awe.

Katie Cassidy: That would be amazing. Could you make that happen?

Stephen Amell: Ronda Rousey could replace me for an episode if she wants! Ronda Rousey can literally do anything she wants at this point ... To me... To the show.

John Barrowman: I'd watch that!


You can watch the entire "Arrow" panel below but make sure to jump to the 29:20 mark specifically for the Ronda Rousey inquiry from the fan.

This season sees Team Arrow facing off against Damien Darhk (Neal McDonough of Captain America: The First Avenger and Agent Carter fame) and H.I.V.E., the organization that killed John Diggle's brother. Meanwhile, Malcolm Merlyn has been promoted to the rank of Ra's al Ghul, leading to the decision to resurrect Sara Lance using the Lazarus Pit.

"Arrow" season 4 will premiere on The CW on Oct. 7, Wednesday at 8 PM ET/PT.
